How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A man returns home carrying the clarity of naivety, finding that his innocence cuts through the mess of family dysfunction and reveals truths others are too entangled to see. It's a gentle, rueful meditation on what we lose when we grow up.
